This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Kill it with FIRE! My 4e book burning

To cleanse our lives of this blight which we have lived under since '07 and prepare for the rebirth of D&D we cordially invite you to join us in a burning of 4.0 materials. This will be a not child friendly, booze filled party worthy of adventurers. Dress as your favorite class or wear you sexiest black t-shirt. Anyone else who'd like to celebrate is welcome to attend.


"AI" sys the man with one arm in the broken down ale house. Grizzled and old, scared, he sits in the corner nursing a broken mug of cheap rank ale. "From the earliest days of exploring the dungeons we've known about it. The fancy feats, the weapon schools, the cantrips ... these things distract you. Remember the wisdom of old and apply your new training! The crowbar! The blanket! The bag of chickens!" He calms down again and with cold steel in his voice says: "We know how to kill an abomination." ... His voice lowers to just a whisper ... "Kill it with fire."


Friday, July 11th in Indianapolis. Large wooded lot in the heart of Indy. Details appearing shortly on the Indy meetup site.

In the heart of indy? Like near memorial circle?

I'm up in Madison County and am no friend to 4e, but I'm betting selling it at Half-Price books over in Fishers would be better. Then you could buy more gaming stuff!

Still, not my stuff—burn away, if you like!

With Gen Con soon approach, there has to be another means of disposal, though. Something pointless and hilarious, all at once!

Too bad I gave away my 4e books like 4-5 years ago because that might be fun. :D
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

He's just joking, because as any good Hoosier knows, Indy has no heart. :D

Heh!

There's a breaded pork tenderloin where my heart should be. Working on that, though. :)

Holy crap, I forget how many of us live around Indy. I moved a bit further NE, out of Hamilton County, but there's a reason the gaming scene is pretty good around here.

Did you know that the pork tenderloin was voted something like 45th-worst regional food item? Philistines!

We're up at 65th & Allisonville, which is close enough to the circle to quality as "heart." :)

We're also doing a 9am-9m 5e marathon gaming session, with multiple tables, the Saturday after the game releases. That IS on the meetup cal already.

You know, you could do a lot of things with your 4e books. But burning them to celebrate the return of D&D while drinking and swapping stories seems like the best use I can think of.


EDIT: I thought of a book burning at Scotties, during GenCon, since they have a fire pit, as an official event. Didn't think it would fly though.

Mmm ... breaded tenderloin. /drool

Yep, there are a lot of us around here.

If you're set on it, you're welcome to come up to the gun range here as a guest and do some "target practice".

And yes! What a ridiculous ranking! The breaded pork tenderloin is an institution! It is a proud Hoosier legacy--sure, part of that legacy is early death from heart disease, but it's a delicious way to go!

Meh I don't get all the hate heaped on 4e.  My group played it pretty much the same as 1e, 2, e,3e and everything else we've played.

Don't worry, it's just a tribal display. Like burning an Israeli flag.
